colourful crafty hijinks

weeks have sailed by

and i haven't mentioned

some crafty hijinks

hosted by Jodie & Gilly

in the sweet victorian country town

of ballarat ....

day trip with Karen & Bron

met up with a host of bloggers

lots of whom are quickly becoming great friends

that's the thing about blogging & reading blogs

there may not be a lot of time spent face to face

but when you do catch up you feel like

you're 'up with' what's been going on

most especially what's been in the 'making'
it feels a bit odd at first actually
but its good, very good

was the most excellent adventure

for a spot of indoor picnic-ing ....

chatted with Lara & Bec & Nicole & Breanna & Cam

& Cathie & met lots of lovely new faces

& we missed you Anna!

there were door prizes & raffles 

& all the performance of a stage-full of pass-it-on-crafty-goodies

took stuff

came home with new stuff

good stuff too!

thank you for sharing people

oh & there were some quick little workshops too

Jodie chatted about rag rug making

Bec ran us through hexies

& me .... little hands on workshop & chat

about using colour 

& being
brave
with colour on colour

tried to encourage everyone to choose the interesting road

suggested 3 colour combo 'recipes'

1 - choose any three colours all in a row 

from the colour wheel

2 - choose opposite colour on the colour wheel

complementary colours

3 - look at nature

the world we live in just never gets it 'wrong'

.... and of course

i always like to 'tweak it' 

.... add a little colour on a small scale that's subtle 

yet powerful to contrast it all
